Strong ECQ Statements Needed To Pass QRB Review

Quality Review Board and Strong ECQs

Getting your Senior Executive Service (SES) resume and application package approved for further review is an accomplishment; it’s another big hurdle to get “past” the Quality Review Board (QRB) a panel of experts who declare your application fit for further consideration. Obtaining the approval of the QRB is one of the more vexing tasks that SES candidates face and it’s why many of the successful ones choose to utilize the services of professional SES resume writers. These writers work with the SES packages every day and have insight and experience to construct Executive Core Qualifications (ECQ) documents that win over the QRB reviewers. A good example is this testimonial offered by a successful SES candidate in a letter written to Barbara Adams, CEO of CareerPro Global, Inc., one of only a few companies to provide expert SES assistance and the only ISO 9001:2008 certified career services company.

Barbara,

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my extreme appreciation for all of Nancy Segal’s hard work which allowed me to be accepted into a Federal SES position.  I contacted CareerPro Global about nine months ago after my ECQs were rejected a second time by OPM’s QRB.  Nancy was assigned to my case at the time and she has been fabulous.  Nancy revised my initial ECQs within two weeks to tell a better story for my next SES opportunity.  Several months ago when I was tentatively selected for another SES position I contacted Nancy and she did not hesitate assisting me in revising the ECQs to make them more current.  Nancy responsiveness has been more than outstanding and her valuable input was much appreciated.  It was made clear to me that Nancy knows exactly what OPM is searching for in reviewing ECQs when I was informed yesterday that my ECQs were approved by the QRB.

Nancy’s efforts and work product allowed me to be accepted into a SES position.  I could not have done it without her.  I highly recommend Nancy to anyone interested in pursuing a SES Federal career.

Again, thanks to CareerPro Global and Nancy Segal.”
